Pokemon Conquest dated for release in Australia

Nintendo Australia has announced the release date for Pokemon Conquest on the Nintendo DS. The game will arrive down here in Australia on June 21st just a couple of days after America, Europe doesn’t have a release date yet.

Funilly enough too the press release about the game doesn’t mention Nobunaga’s Ambition at all just that the game takes place in Ransei and that “players will encounter a variety of Pokémon, as well as Warriors and Warlords inspired by the Japanese feudal era.”

Probably better than people asking what the heck is a Nobunaga.
